It is believed by some, or by many, that the name YAHSHUA violates basic Hebrew. The so-called English name Jesus is a transliteration of the Latin name Iesus. Jesus, although adopted into the English language in the 17th century originated from Latin, which is derived from the Greek Iesous. Iesous is a transliteration of the Aramaic name Yeshua. It should be noted that the name of Jesus violates Hebrew and that it replaced Iesus, as found in the 1611 English Version of the Bible. Yeshua, a common Aramaic name at the time of YAHSHUA was supposedly derived from Yehoshua, and the name of Joshua is the closest English equivalent name to Yehoshua. They say that both Yehoshua and Yeshua equally mean ‘YAH save.’ The question is, does anyone see or hear YAH in either of these names? They say, that it is a commonly accepted fact within academia that Jesus’ native Hebrew/Aramaic name was Yeshua. Phonology is the branch of linguistics that deals with systems of sounds (including phonetics), within a language or between different languages. Hebrew scholar Michael Brown emphatically denies that “YAHSHUA” was the name of Jesus, he states, “The original Hebrew-Aramaic name of Jesus is Yeshu’a, which is short for Yehoshua.” Why all the fuss? The fuss is about the denial of God’s revelation of the true name of salvation, as the apostle Peter testified in Acts 4:12 “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” How do we know that the Savior’s name is YAHSHUA and not Jesus? And based on the statement of scholar Michael Brown and the testimony of the apostle Peter, the name Jesus is wrong, for it should be Yeshua, “for there is no other name...” God never revealed the name of Jesus. The angel in Matthew 1:21 never revealed the name Jesus, or Iesus, or Iesous. It was Moses who first asked for God’s name, for we read, “Then Moses said to God, ‘Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?’ And God said to Moses, (HAYAH ASHAR HAYAH) ‘I AM WHO I AM.’ And He said, ’Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM (YAH) has sent me to you.’ Moreover God said to Moses, ‘Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘YAHAWAH the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This (YAH) is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations’” (Exodus 3:13-15). The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel) revealed His name to Moses as YAHAWAH, which means in ancient Hebrew: “I AM Ever-present.” Behold the name which is above every name the very name: YAH! The Lord YAH said to Moses, “And God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am YaHaWaH. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as EL SHADDAI, but by My name YAHAWAH I was not known to them” (Exodus 6:2-3). Millions of Jews and Christians say, “Halleluyah!” Which means “Praise YAH!” Surprisingly many do not even know what they are actually saying. The first Hebrew letter is Yod, which is the equivalent to the English letter Y, so why do people traditionally put the letter J instead of the appropriate letter Y? The Christian Savior, indeed the Savior of the whole world, has the name YAH, which is the name which is above every name. This was testified to by the apostle Paul, for he said, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of YAHSHUA every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that YAHSHUA the Messiah is LORD, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11). For indeed YAHSHUA is YAHAWAH, the very God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel), as the Father has declared Him to be, “But to the Son He says: ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions. And: ‘You, Lord (YHWH), in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands’” (Hebrews 1:8-10). YAHSHUA, (YAH) is our God because His God and Father declared Him to be our only God. The essential name of the Savior is YAH, and the Son of God is the God of the Old Testament (or rather the Hebrew Scriptures), and the God of the New Testament, because His God and Father has declared Him to be, as the Father called Him by the very name YAHAWAH (LORD=YHWH). Behold the name (YAH) which is the name above every name: “Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation’” (Isaiah 12:2 NKJV). “Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name Yah, And rejoice before Him” (Psalm 68:4 NKJV). “For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and long-suffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him (YAHSHUA) all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence” (Colossians 1:9-18). The Father identified the Son as YAHAWAH, who is our God, who is the “I AM EVER-PRESENT” one in the Hebrew Scriptures, the very YAH, and in the New Testament Scriptures, He is YAHSHUA, YAH SAVES! The Father (Abba is His name, as revealed to us by YAHSHUA) gave all things to His Son, YAHSHUA, for YAHSHUA testified of this, when He said, “All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him” (Matthew 11:27). The Father gave all things to the Son, YAHSHUA, the Christ, for the purpose of reconciling the world back to Him, for we read, “But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.

I’d venture to guess it’s counter protestors trying to delegitimize the freedom convoy by smears using swastikas, or to compare Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau’s action to that of Natzi Germany!

Dr. Brown is right: anyone (Left or Right) who invokes Nazis, Hitler, etc., as a comparison has automatically lost the argument.
